And...over it. Thanks, you just saved me US$40K US$80K.

This. So true. We learn through mimicry.

My sphincter clenched at 0:23.

Also, they pretty.

I already have the cheap SVS, but that's for my cheap system, I wanted the nicer SVS (the SB12) for my nicer system, and I probably will eventually get a Gallo Strada/SVS Ultra system, I'm just holding off. I sure hope they replace it with something. PB13/SB13?

Ooh, I like Neil Finn. Will have to see if he's on Spotify...Yup, Now playing...

I just performed minimal car-digging-out. Fortunately, there was not that much, the worst part was that I had to slog through icy-cold slush with every shovelful, to get the snow to someplace where it wouldn't inconvenience others. Fortunately, I had boots on, so didn't really get icy-cold slush in my shoes. But I still felt it.

I wasn't procrostinating, I've been teleconferencing and webexing all day.

Have a great birthday, Stephen -- sounds like you get to spend it with your favourite person in the world, and that's the best. (party. favour. NOOOOEEEEZZZUH.)

SVS PB12-NSD and SB12-NSD President's Day sale. They're discontinuing them? Dagnabit...can't buy them right now, I have the money, but I just bought the one frivolous thing I allowed myself with it. Dagnabit...

That's really nice of her!

Are Made of This -- a mix of contemporary artists inspired by that Eurythmics track. That's that Steve Albini.

Yes to the latter. Electrostatics with a loose connection are not something you want to fuck around with. It works now, might break it by continuing to use it while the loose connector detaches and reattaches itself.

I'm actually a big fan of Musical Fidelity from 10 years ago, and still have my A300^CR power amp to drive the Dynaudios. Considering how efficient your speakers are, I'd get one of their lower end integrateds like this one from audiogon.

Ricky Gervais:

:homer-drool:

I have no idea what that is but I already like it.

Pfff...no. I have thought it through, though.

No, you're going to get it fixed.
